It's an unseasonably warm day and you're out enjoying a beer at a nice, relaxed pace (stretch your imagination for a second drunky). After a few minutes of sitting on your deck, you realize your once cold beer has warmed considerably; your mountains are blue-less. Who do we turn to, to solve such little annoyances? ... continue reading
Unless you were a childhood alcoholic, you probably weren't knocking back a few while avoiding ghosts in Pac-Man. If you were of age (or broke into your dad's after work stash), you may have found that introducing a bit of a buzz into your quest for pixelated domination added a bit of a new challenge (see: headache). ... continue reading
Even if your next trip isn't behind the wheel of a tractor-trailer, this Compact Inner Tube Toiletry Bag is a pretty sweet way to bring your bathroom essentials along for your travels. Crafted from upcycled truck inner tubes, this compact dopp kit even comes with a zipper pull made from an old tube valve. It's water-resistant ... continue reading
You probably haven't put much thought into your keychain. In fact, you probably can't even remember the last time you bought a keychain. Usually they're just acquired, whether at bar as a beer promo or at a car dealership when you're getting a new ride. The only cognizant thought a guy ever put into his key holster, ... continue reading
You already have a myriad of ways of opening a cold one. You can purchase an iPhone case with a built-in opener, you can use one of the hundreds of freebies you've received from Bud Light girls at various watering holes over the years or you can simply slam your palm down on a bar lip. So, we're not going to sit here ... continue reading
We don't need to explain to you why beer ice cream is awesome, so we're just going to talk about the different flavors available from the Shark Tank darlings Brewer's Cow. Black and tan pints made with Guinness. Ten Penny Beer Nut Parfait made with, you guessed it, Ten Penny Ale. Bavarian Beer Brittle pints made with ... continue reading
For far too long we've been opening our beer bottles with two hands like suckers. All that effort, when one hand could handle the beer while the other texts, high-fives or grabs a boob (Warning: Don't grab boobs without consent). Even though you may not know it, back in the day, a distinguished gentleman popped the ... continue reading
Not all things are greater than the sum of their parts. We love inhaling cheap tacos and we love rollercoasters, but we don't love cleaning puke out of our Nikes. Beer, clearly, does not fall into this category. Don't believe us, go eat a yeast packet. Something magical happens when hops, malted barley and ... continue reading
There are plenty of ways to open a bottle a beer, but none as storied as this ancient iron mermaid transformed from the figurehead of an ancient sailing vessel. Ok, so that’s not entirely true. This bottle opener isn’t ancient and it didn’t come from an ancient sailing vessel, but it is made of strong cast iron ... continue reading
Being a good beer and being a good beer for beer pong are two very different things. Just cause we enjoy pricey Imperial stouts that approach 10% ABV, doesn't mean we're ready to split some of those brews amongst a handful of Solo cups and throw dirty ping pong balls at them. For a few games of beer pong, we need ... continue reading
We'll try any beer we can get our greedy hands on. If a friend says he just picked up a sixer of something crazy, we'd expect some craft brew that's hopped out of its mind or an imported stout that tastes like biting into chocolate cake, and we'd gladly partake. That being said, anyone would pause for a second if one ... continue reading
Our New Year's resolution this year was to try all the beers in our copy of 1001 Beers You Must Try Before You Die. This resolution has quickly proven very difficult. First off, we have to buy all new pants because our new found beer gut is stretching out our old ones. Second, tracking down a bunch of the small ... continue reading
Mmm... beer. In two words (or one word and one guttural sound) Homer Simpson summed up our love affair and affection for a few cold ones perfectly. While we have craft brews bursting at our seams to choose from, our cartoon counterparts only had one delicious lager that suited their fancy—Duff. Now we can sit ... continue reading
Pizza and beer go together like, well, pizza and beer. To be fair, beer and pizza are both delicious separately, but it's one of those "whole is greater than the sum of the parts" situations when you put them together. It was only a matter of time before someone mastered the process of fermenting with tomatoes and ... continue reading
We’ve been known to enjoy a beer or three on occasion. Seeing as how this is Cool Material after all, it should come as no surprise that we have a pretty expansive collection of openers at our disposal. Some beers call for knuckles, others for knives and sometimes we even open a brew or two with a collar stay. Even ... continue reading
Have you ever bought a 6-pack of some crazy microbrew only to have to carry it through the rain while the cardboard turned into something mushier than an 80's power ballad? How could we be transporting such precious cargo in something suited for canned swill? If you've ever had a beer that warranted a golden chalice ... continue reading
